Halos’ stars slumping
rest of team can’t pick up slack
Joe Maddon pays price
Halos’ stars slumping
rest of team can’t pick up slack
Joe Maddon pays price
With apologies to Loudon Wainwright III
What’s up with Shohei?
upon closer review…oooh
peach-fuzzed upper lip.
Shohei strikes out 10
splendid outing, but no win
Halos lack offense
Chants of “MVP”
echo ‘cross the universe
when Shohei’s at bat
Mike Trout
An All-Star, but out,
A parallel, I suppose,
To his post-season career with the Halos.
Ozzie Albies
Likes to trek through the tall trees
And ask the numberless stars
How many Ozzies there are.
Carlos Rodón
Has got it goin’ on
Non-tendered after 2020
Now mowing down batters like el jefe.
Buster Posey
Doesn’t want to be nosey
But just wants to know that
You’re gonna finish eating that?
